The Democrats are talking a good
deal just at present about the alb
solute necessity of bringing the ad-
minlstration to the acceptance of
the old Jacksonian doctrine as to
the distribution of patronage, if par
ty success in 1855 is to be assured,
and really they must admit that
however much the President, during
the first months of his administra-
ton, might have seemed inclined to
hesitate, he has recently been doing
all that any reasonable spokesman
could ask of him. 1t is a fair ques-
ton whether those who regard the
possession of and the judicious dis
}trlbution of patronage as a great
aid to party success, are not, after
all mistaken. 1t is worth remem-
bering that the Wings, while utterly
destitute of patronage, wrested pow
err from the Democrats in 1910, and
again in 1848,and never was a party,
seemingly, more strongly entrench-
ed in power than was the Demo
cratic party in 1860, when without
a grain of patronage the Republi-
cans won victory, the fruits OF
which they held for twenty four
years. Again in 1884 the Repub
lican party held all that was worth
having in the way of'clientage, and
lost. If patronage be really essen
tial to party success, how could those
victories of parties without patron
age, over parties possessing it have
happened ? There is q mistake
somewhere. 1t is undoubtedly true
that if patronage could be distribu
ted so as to always make friends ant
never to make enemies, it would
have great influence i'll politica

The Peoples Journal, published
ut Ratland, is new candidate for
public favor. 1t believes IN free
dom-free speech, free press, and
FREE labor, and is devoted especial
ly to the interests of the working
people. 1t presents a neat and
creditable typographical appearance,
is newsy, and we should Judge from
its advertising columns that it starts
out with the best of encouragement.
The people in whose interest it is
published, especially the Knights of
Labor, should give it their unquali

We wish the Journal a long life Of

In the case of young men who

having weekly wages, how many
are there who have enough self-con-
troll and foresight, enough sense and
responsibility i'll the matter to say:

the accumulation of Titles. If there
were more who would do that,
there would be fewer poor people,
fewer middle aged men in fnan-
cial trouble. 1t only needs that
young men should learn the
value of Titles while they are young
men. | have been told by the bust
ness men, that when they started in
the world, the most difficult thing
they had to do was to save the first
thousand dollars. Most young men,
it seems to me, do not quite ap
preciate how readily this may be
done, if they are only true to them
selves in little things in life. / be
lieve there are very few young mer
who might not save a thousand dol

The Supreme Court of Illinois has
rendered a decision, the general ten.
or of which is that bank directors
should direct, and that if they fail
to do so they must take the conse-
quences. The case was that of bank
which had failed because of the de-
falcatious of the assistant cashier.
1t was shown that the directors had
been warned that something was
wrong, but had failed to investigate.
Thereupon a victimized depositor
brought suit against the directors
individually, and the court of first
resort gave judgment for him. The
case was carried up on appeal, and
the judgment of the lower court has
been reaffirmed by the Supreme
Court,

The GRAND JURY ct Denver, Colorado,
has recently found indictments against
the sheriff and four of his deputies for
malfeasance in Office. The charges upon
which the indictments are based show
systematic scheme of plunder that re-
minds us of the Tweed methods in New
York. Bills for services never rendered,
bills fictitious in nature, illegal in char
acter and false as to fact were presented
to the County Commissioners, sworn to
by the sheriff or his deputies and paid
out of the county treasury. Bills for
guards who never guarded anything and
never got cent of money were present
ed and paid by the Commissioners. Bills
for service as bailifs in court when no
court was in session and bills for hun
dred other things for which nc service
was rendered seem to have been sworn
to, presented and collected by these in
dicted officials. It is evident that the
wild West does not intend to get left by
the effete East in the matter Of munich

A Bloody Feud in Kentucky.

LEXINGTON, KY, June 22.-Informa-
ton has been received by the Transcript
of another battle in Rowan county,
which occurred this morning at 9 o'clock.
In this fight Craig Tolliver, the 6espera-
do who lorded it over that section, was
killed. It is said that a large party of
men, ostensibly led by DR.. Logan, whose
two sons were murdered in cold blood
by the Tolliver men about two weeks
ago, and who was in iaii in this city at
the tine of the tragedy, had organized
band OF regulators for the purpose of
Kidding the county of the desperadoes.
The rumors of this band being in the
neighborhood of Morehead have been
frequent. This morning, & little after
nine o'clock, the regulators being con-
cealed in close proximity to Morehead,
opened fire on Tolliver and some of his
gang who were on the streets. Tolliver
was killed in the engagement, and the
fight assumed bushwhacking character,
men hiding behind houses and trees and
shooting at any one that could be seen.
Reports differ as to the number killed;
one placing the number at five, includ-
ing Tolliver. and another stating that
Craig Tclliver, two Of his brothers and
thirteen others had been killed. There
is great confusion IN the telegraphic re-
ports coming, and accurate news IS out
OF the question.
LOUISVILLE, NY., June pa special
from the Courier-J ournal correspondent,
who lett last night for Rowan county,
corroborates the story OF the killing OF
the three yollivers and Harvey Cooper.
Sheriff Hogs posse had warrants for
the arrest Of the men, and they were
supplied with arms and ammunition by
Governor Knott Force was only re-
sorted to after the desperadoes had re-
fused to submit to arrest. Budd and
Jay Tolliyer were cousins, not brothers,
CT Craig Ioiii7er. Andy Tolliver, anoth
er OF Craig's cousins, escaped; he was
slightly wounded.
